who doesn't love a punk rock wedding!

so much fun! the adventure was in getting there in the first place. about 40 minutes in we stopped dead because a cop had closed off the highway- for a tortoise. a great big angry snapping tortoise. she spent almost half an hour trying to get it off the road with a shovel.

then we got stuck in traffic for an accident further down. another half hour. then we made through most of the nj turnpike without incident, but somewhere on rt 17 we got a flat tire. you would have thought tom was prepping for a pit crew job at nascar- he had that puppy off & the donut on in less than 8 minutes! then about a minute after getting onto the ny thruway all traffic ground to a halt. backed up from the toll booths to nj. it took us almost an hour to get through what normally takes 20-25 minutes. by the time we got to the hotel it was 3:40 and the wedding started at 4. needless to say we were scrambling!

i saw the bride's sister & nephew waiting in the lobby. we weren't even dressed yet! luckily i had done my makeup in the car. we checked in, got into the room, ironed my dress & his shirt, did my hair and ran back out. it was then 4:02. luckily we grew up there & getting to the wedding venure was pretty quick & easy. we walked up to the doors just as they were ushering everyone in to start the wedding. good thing too- because it was the fastest ceremony i have ever witnessed. it literally took longer for the whole wedding party & parents to get down the aisle than it did for them to get married! we stood up for the bride to walk down (she was beautiful by the way!) and then stood just long enough to realize that we couldn't hear a word that was being said, look around & no one else around us could either, look back up & the bride & groom are kissing & everyone claps!

it was a lot of fun- we got to see some old friends & hang out. we actually danced together- no small feat for tom who is not a dancer! i had one shy of one too many & by the time we got back to the hotel & had fun date night drunken sex i was done- i didn't even get to meet up with the bride & groom for the after party- which i had really wanted to do. but we'll just have to get together without a big event for an excuse next time. oh- and even with no time to get ready- i still looked super cute! Tom was not quite ready for the photo & everyone called him a hippy because of his hair.

well- i am 6 dpo today- af & my birthday are a week away & i have the baptism of my friend's baby next sunday. i really needed this little break & time spent alone with Tom.

by the way- what the heck are you supposed to get for a baptism- money?
